A post showed a car that reportedly caught fire on the highway shortly after it had been taken to a church for dedication. While many people focused on the safety implications of the incident, some reactions shifted into blame and ridicule.

One such comment read: “Instead of you to go thank people wey help your hustle to buy that car, you dey carry am go church.” This response criticized the car owner’s choice to dedicate the vehicle, as if that decision caused the accident. The problem with this view is that it assigns fault based on religious expression rather than on facts. Whether someone chooses to thank people, go to church, or do nothing at all has no bearing on whether a mechanical or electrical failure will occur.
